A Television Camera Interface for the PDP-1. AIM-034

This paper is a discussion of several methods for the connection of
a television camera to the PDP-1 computer. Three of these methds
are discussed in detail and have in common that only a 36 bit
portion of any horizontal scanning line may be read and this
information is read directly into the working registers of the
computer. The fourth involves a data channel to read information
directly into the core memory of the computer, and is mentioned only
in passing. The major concepts and some of the details of these
methods are due to Marvin Minsky.
